I Don't Know What I'm Doing Here

Mima, an American college student, sets out on a road trip to the rural Romanian village where her grandmother Esther was born. She is joined by her friend Jacob, a recent film-school dropout, who travels with them to the old country, along with an 18-year-old translator she found on Facebook. Decades after Esther's death, Mima relies on her grandmother's unmarked photographs of the village and recorded oral histories to orient herself in the secluded terrain. As the trio scales walls and treks across fields in search of any trace of Esther's life in Romania, the deeper unknowns fueling Mima's journey begin to reveal themselves.
